In one work of this name, the second movement centers on B-flat and is marked by muted violins playing mormorando punctuated by woodwind minor chords, while the first movement opens with an F-sharp pedal played by the harp, bassoons, and basses. That work is divided into three movements, which are Intrada, Capriccioso Notturno e Arioso, and Passacaglia, Toccata, e Corale. Another work by this name burlesques the "crescendo theme" from Shostakovich's Leningrad Symphony in its fourth movement, and that work's second movement is marked by a chain structure in which the muted trumpets enter playing major seconds after the flutes play (*) fifths and the clarinets play sevenths. The latter work has a fourth movement called "Intermezzo Interrotto" and a second called "A Game of Pairs." Witold Lutoslawski and Bela Bartok both composed works sharing, for 10 points, what paradoxical name?
